Anyone tried out Apex Legends yet?

(1/4) > >>

MP-Ryan:
I'm curious for thoughts and if anyone around here is into it.  I keep hearing buzz but not much about mechanics and gameplay.

The E:
Game is good. I was a bit skeptical at first (another Battle Royale? A Titanfall game without Titans?), but after having played a couple rounds, I'm not seeing myself going back to PUBG anytime soon.

Despite appearances, this definitely isn't a game that has been released and developed as a quick cash-grab: There's a level of thought and polish to the design that elevate it above the derivative garbage that usually comes out in the wake of one or two hyper successful games (here: PUBG and Fortnite). In this case, the addition of class-based abilities and the tightening of the combat loop so that battles are usually over swiftly and decisively (as opposed to the long slogs that late-game PUBG sometimes devolves into) makes this game a markedly different experience.
Sure, it is also infected with the usual F2P garbage, like cosmetic items being hidden in lootboxes, but for some reason, I find myself more accepting of such practices when they're attached to an actual F2P game. Strange how that works.

Novachen:
Would be interesting if this one plays more like Titanfall 2 or the much superior Titanfall? ^^

Because i totally disliked the changes in the gameplay for the sequel, that is the reason i am still playing the original one.

The E:
It plays a lot like the best shooter of the decade (which is Titanfall 2, fight me), except of course without jetpack and parcour (but with automatic mantling that makes movement fun and fast compared to PUBG)

Do not have to, because it is your opinion :)
I simple like the predecessor much more, because it has an more own self-identity and much less elements from other games which plays all the same.
But i know, that there have to be other opinions. Also it has a reason why the first Titanfall was not very successful either.
And i got to it myself only after it was sell of cheap for 5€ with all then free DLCs.

So, i will pass on this one. But well, have to admit that PUBG and Fortnite was not my cup of tea anyway :).
